Great gear. Great trip. Great report. Thanks for sharing such a good trip.

I know what you mean about the rain in the woods. I love it. I've been sleeping in a hammock in the backyard for 3 nights anticipating rain but the weatherfolks keep pushing its arrival back after each day it doesn't rain.

Two weeks ago I was in the hammock in the backyard and was awoken 5 times by an oak tree apparently shedding live limbs as big around as your leg. One went through the shed roof! And we had all the dead limbs removed from that tree 3 months ago. I also wake up each night I'm in the hammock to acorns hitting the shed, the wooden swingset or the metal firepit cover. Man, those things are LOUD in the still of the night.

wow....the only thing you could have done to make the trip more intense would have been to hang your hammock 20-30 ft off the ground off a couple of those branches that were falling. But seriously, I think the part that would have bothered me the most would have been those acorns.
